THEY RAN IN THE SLOP Omaha's Running Meeting Opened on a Badly Boaked Track.

Never, for an instant, was the interest allowed to flag, and so admir- able were tho arrangements and so vromptly and systematically were the various events run off that only universal commendation ‘was heard for the Omaha Jockey club. That the organization has scored a ten- strike will admit of no dispute or contro versy, and if the same high standard of in-- terest and excitement is maintained through- out the three days meeting the club may well retire satisfied upon its laurels. No meeting ever held in Omaha was so replete with pleasurable domonstrations, and tho individual bold enough to claim that the thoroughbred is not the animal for the masses can only do so at the cost of his reputation for judgment and sanity. The high strung and fiery gallopers receivea an ovation that attested amply to the rare amu nt they furnished e assembled thovsand and were thoy capable of n reciproity of favors they would be straining nerte and sinew and muscle day in and day out for years to come and then fall short of canceling tho debt, It Was His Kind of Weather. The day was stuffed with caloric and, while physical comfort was a scarce quan- tity. indoed, the condition of things atmos- pherically was Just right for the equines, Like the ball player, the sprinter, and in fact all athletes who operate in the open air, the notter the weather the better itis for the running horse. He feels his outs better in the broiling sun, works out more satisfacto and i3 enabled to tra- verse spaco at a rate much higher than he could hope to show in a cold or humid atmosphere. Had it not been for the vooful condition of the track, th wd would have been treated to somé marvelous cos, considering the quality of the striving for the mastery. As it was, rwork was more than “creditable, for rack was but a circutar stream of mud seratch to wi The tremend- ous rain storm of he night pre- vious seems to have concehtrated all its spito and vehemence on the driving parlk and up to noon it looked as if it would be next to impossible to pull off the after- “noon’s card. A brigade of scrapers and shoveler's was set to work, however, and as early as_half-past 2 they succeeded in got- ting the track in at least a possible condi- tion, and promptly at a quarter to 8, amidst an outburst of applause, the horses were sum- nllonl;!d from the stables for the first event of the da; The Second Infantry band was on hand and interspersed the program with some of their ¢hoicest renditiovs, which served ad- mirably in preserving the joviality and good feeling among the people in the stands, The judges were W. J. Perry, C. M. Smith and G. K. Black, and adequately did they fulfill the delicate functions of their oftice. ‘The timers were John W. Gribblo and John Callaban, and the starter John A. the manager of the club. His work was superb and would have reflected credit on a Sheridan or a Pettingill. Heneve was thoroughly impartial, and business v sonified from ‘A to izard. There was no Jock with a mount clever enough to work John A, I'rom the descent of the flag on the orig- inal starters thesport was thick, fast and furious, and the immense crowd was kept in & furore to the very close. Dan Tucker Took the Firat. An even half dozen run in the opening four and o half furlongs, the Boston Store stake, orat least appeared at the post for the chase, Red Light being drawn.

But 18 the start, however, and so un- cquivocally did the blume lie with Ike's rider, thai the crowd cheered vociferously when Starter Tuthill gave them the word Dan Tucker jumpfd into tho van and was never headed, in fact teero was 4 show of ‘fl}lyllgm between nim and his most am- bitious rival for the entive journey. The fight down the stroteh for second | tween Fred S and Pitticoat was “hot indeed, Ired S gotting his swarthy nozzlo under the w first by tho closest shave imaginable.

She wus challenged here, how- ever, by Tell Tale, and the chase down to the wire was an electrifying one, Tell Talo coming under finally a half length the best of the Maid, with™ Tanglo Foot third and Petticoat last.

DUMP AT CHICAGO. Money Placed on Clifford in the Sheridan Stakes tho Ssme as Thrown Away. Cuicaco, July 4.—The Sheridan stakes, next to the Derby in importance, for 3-yoar- olds, was the event of tho Washington park meeting today and resulted in the first real dump the talent has received. Clifford should have been an oasy winner, but Ingo- mar, from the Hawthorne track, won the ce oasily at tho long odds of 30 to 1. 1d- d Corrigan’s maiden colt Tyro at 25 to 1 in the betting was an_easy second and Clif- ford was hard pressed to boat Aldebaran for third place.

WasmiNarox, July 4.—Several changes affecting the military and naval establish- ments went into effect Saturday when the appropriations for these services became operative. The army feature of the most general interest permits ordnance authori- ties to commence the manufacture ofsa new magazine rifle, They lost no time in carry- ing out the new law, and the manufactura of Kraig-Jorgensen rifies commenced at the Springfield armory S Annually the output of the Springfield armory is 85,000 stacks of arms, besides repair work. That number of the new type will hardly be turned out during the first year, asthe ‘workmen wil require some time to become familiar with its manufacture. It is expected that a sufficient number will be completed during the fiscal year to supply regiments of the regular army, 20,000 being sufticient for this purpose. As fast as the new weapons are supplied Springfields will be called in and stored away in the ar- senals. There are over+1,000,000 of these weapons already in reserve in addition to those in the hands of the organized militia. When the regular army has been supplied the new weapons ‘will be issued to the militia. Another acceptable change allows an in- ‘erense of pay. to noncommissioned officers of the line, which will keep in service efticient first sergeants. Another cluuse prohibits privates from re-enlisting after ten years service. Ofiicers and men are up in'arms acainst this provision, and petitions are pouring into the War department for its re- peal, whi will be urgently recommended by everybody connccted with the Warde- partment, In the nayy the new appropriation will en- able that department partially to remedy desertion. Enlisted men of the navy and marine corps will be permitted to purchase their discharges, this privilege being enjoyed by the army. “Iat Trimmings Cases”. WasmiNGToN, July 4.—Secretary Carlisle has in contemplation a plan to refer to the Fairchild commission, now investigating at the New York custom house the cases kunown as the “hat trimmings cases” for adjustment. Under a decision of the United States supreme court these cases were de- cided against the United States and it was dlrccmfi that the excess of dues paid by the importers on the olassification be refunded to them. Estimates of the amount to be re- funded vary from $3,000,000 to $8,000,000. The process of determining the excess due on each invoice is a tedious and exacting one, and will require the most searching inquiry. It will be fully three years before all the cases can be adjusted. The matter has not been fully determined, but Secretary Car- lisle is favorably disposed toward the plan, which has also vthe sanctionof Assistant Secretary Hamlin, Appenled from the Declslon. WasiiNaroy, July. 4.—The recont deeision of Judge Newman of the United States court of Georgia, in which the attempt of the Interstate Commerce commission to enforce the long and short haut clause of the inter- state commerce act against certain roads op- erating lines in the state of Georgia, was nullified, was something of a surprise to the commissioners, As soon as the full dec of Judge Newman was received the commis- sion took an appeal to the United States court of appeals for thut district. It is ex- pected that the court at its October session will promptly reverse Judge Newman's Jjudgment. Independence iy at the Capital, ‘WasmNatoy, July 4.—The celebration of the Fourth of July at the national capital opened with religious services at Epiphany church, condtcted by Rev. Dr. McKem, n the prosence of the Sonsof the American Revolution and Daughters of tho Revolution. Then the two societies proceeded to the grounds of the Washington monument Where, after the readirg of the Declaration of Independence, speeches were made, Other societies observed the day in a for- mal manner. Business was suspended and all the government departments closed, Rt —— Involuntary Celebration. A vender of tirecrackers and tireworks at Courtland beach celebrated on a large scale last evening 1o a sort of involuntary manner, His stand was erected near the pavilion. A passerby touched off a Roman candle. A stray spark from the candle nestled among & bunch of firecrackers on the stand. “The result was a general explosion _in which the enuire stock participated. There was fireworks galore, and firecrackers fairly outdid each other in deafening outbursts. The stand caught fire, and everything on it was burned excopt a small American flag, which stood erect, untouched, a veritable sulamander of the flames. ‘The loss to the stock was estimated at $100.

Smith of Omaha as timers. The time made was not very good as the track was new and mot solld in spite of last night's heavy rain. Tho sur- priso of tho day was Russell Condon of South Omaha. Condon isa novice and has boen training for the past three woeks only, but ho gavo a splendid exhibition of steady racing. He isa stayorand made a beauti- ful spuct on the last 300 yards. The first raco was the one mile race for novices in which there were thirteen starters. There was considorable colliding during both heats, Tmpey, Cox and Beecher getting heavy falls as rosult. Owing to the large number of entries tho race was run in throo heats and a final. The first was taken by F. G. Barnett of Linceln 1n 2:54 25, J. F*. Cully of Omahs took the second in 3:03 1-5, and A.

The first heat in this race went to Holton in2 while Condon took the second in 3:038-5 and tho final. ‘Why Mockett Failed. In this race Mockett, the former cham- pion of the state got no place whatever. He stated to Tre Bee that he afterward found sprinkled in the bearings of his wheels. This statement is borne out by the fact that another wheel was used by him in the two-mile championship, and that in this race he drove LeSter sharply for first place. §i: 51 ‘The one mile open, alap race, was won by Myers of Peoria, who took the first lap in 23-5 and the final 1n 42, 40, 45 and Russel Condon topk the second lap in A but Cully of Omaha'took second in the finish.

The final event, % five-mile handicav, was a surprise to all and by far‘the prettiest race. “The Taco belongod to Bert Myers, who took the scratch, up to the fourteenth lap. In this lap young Banks, who was_handicapped sixty yards, commenced to increase his speed, and when a lap or two later Myers fell out he had everything his own way. By spurt after spurt the boy passed his com- petitors, amid the wild shouts of the crowd. This race was run in 13: As will be scen, Omaha took nearly every- thing, and the boys are jusily jubilant, Pra ally no kicking was done, and all scemed satisfled with the decisions. The only complaint heard was due to the slow- ness with which the races were put on. Cash Prize Cychug Raccs.

Origin of Some Well Kuown Words and Phruses, There is a more soldierly frankness, a greater freodom, lews restraint, less rospect for law and order in the we than in the east, and this may be a re son why American slang is superior to British and to French, writes Brander Matthews in Harper’s. The catchwords of New York may be as inept and as cheap as the catehwords of London and of Paris, but New York is not as impor- tant to tho United States as London is to Great Dritain and as Paris is to France; it is not as dominating, not as absorbing. So it is that in America the feebler catchwords of the city give way before the virile phrases of the west. There is little to choose betwecn the **How’s your poor feet?” of London and the “Waell, I should smile,” of New York, for neither phrage had any excuse for existence, and neither had any hope of survival. The oity phrase is often doubtful in meaning and obseure in origin. In London, for ex- ample, the four wheeled cab is called a “growler.” Why? In New York a can brought in filled” with beer at a bar- room is is called a ‘“‘growler,” and the likely to be adopted into the literary language: but it is forcible at least, and not stupid. To go back on, however, bids fair to take its placo in our speech as a phrase at once useful and vigorous. From the wide and wind-spread plains of the wost came blizzard, and although it has boen suggrosted that the word is & survival from some local British dialect, the wost still deserves the credit of hav- ing rescued it from desuetude. From the logging camps of the northwest camo boom, an old word again, but with a new meaning, which the language promptly accoptod. From still further west camie tho use of sand, to indicate staying power, backbono—what New England knows as grit, and old England aspluck (a far loss expressive word).
